Engine temps

[Slope]

[B]If you mean dual Mishimoto fans, dump them for a single Taurus or similar fan along with a quality controller. That will get your temps back in check then you can move onto the running issue.

Taurus fan pulls HARD.

It surely does. Exactly what is required to get the job done.
Does require a high current controller though.
Well worth the effort and cost.
Another option, fan from a '99up GT / Cobra etc

If I told you that I had one running around using a Ford starter relay, would you believe me?

About to replicate it on my own wheels here shortly.

If you have a stock width rad or Modular motor swap, I would agree...

I have the '03-'04 OEM Ford Cobra fan (using a Ron Davis 70 amp relay) + Northern rad in the Project Car. There might be a quarter inch of clearance between the fan motor cover and the water pump pulley bolts.

Rick, what years of Taurus have this great fan?

Early 90's V6.

You'll have to fab up the coolant overflow bottle mounting, but it's a little work for a great Fox fan.

Thank you Mr. Slope!!

When you're *this* big...

I did one way back when using a commercial / continuous duty solenoid (looks very similar to a starter solenoid), worked like a charm.

Took some flak when mentioned to some about using a starter relay for continuous duty.

Let's think for a minute on what demands that relay is under during it's intended use vs. what we are re-tasking it to do.

"It's not gonna work"...

Typically a starter relay does not stand up all that well but there are some exceptions. Continuous duty one is a good option, can be spendy though.
